CLIENT: National trust of scotland
We were engaged to carry out essential roof maintenance across a portfolio of tenanted properties managed by the National Trust for Scotland.
The works focused on preserving the integrity of historic buildings while ensuring tenant safety and comfort.
scope of works
- Cleaning rainwater goods to maintain effective drainage and prevent water damage.
- Replacing damaged slates and tiles to restore weatherproofing and aesthetics.
- Conducting detailed condition reports to identify future maintenance needs and ensure compliance with heritage standards.
Challenges And solutions:
- High Foot Traffic: Many properties were located in busy heritage villages like Culross, attracting large numbers of visitors daily. We implemented strict safety measures, to protect pedestrians.
- Proximity to Roads: Some properties were adjacent to active roads, requiring traffic management systems to safeguard workers and the public.
- Access Coordination: Close collaboration with National Trust staff ensured smooth access to properties without disrupting tenants or visitor operations.
Outcome:
The maintenance program was completed efficiently and safely, preserving the historic character of the properties while minimizing disruption to tenants and the public.
